The Senate on Thursday voted to overturn President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, a harsh rebuke of the president’s attempt to go around Congress to fund a border wall.
Twelve Republicans defected and joined all Democrats in approving the resolution, which now goes to the president’s desk. Trump has vowed to veto the resolution – the first of his presidency.
Vote count
51 votes were necessary to pass the resolution of disapproval and block President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration.
